After eleven days the Glasgow Commonwealth Games bowed out in style

The Car Hire Glasgow Airport branch have been so pleased with the effort put in by all the athletes at the Games, witnessing some great sporting moments during the eleven days.

The curtain came down in Glasgow on a spectacular Commonwealth Games, with a star-studded closing ceremony at Hampden Park. Fireworks started the ceremony off, then it was down to Glasgow born singer Lulu to get the 40,000 crowd going. The Games ahs been viewed by many as a triumph for Glasgow and for Scotland, as it opened its doors to the 71 Commonwealth nations.

It was then all about Kylie Minogue to wow the crowds with a seven-song set including hits like Spinning Around, Into The Blue and The Locomotion. She was joined by Dougie MacLean who led a mass sing-a-long of Auld Lang Syne and Scots favourites Deacon Blue.

The closing party gave everyone – from athletes to volunteers – their flash in the limelight as the city celebrated what chiefs described as the best Commonwealth Games ever.
